A/N: The amount of times I had to stop writing because I was crying is insane.

...

"Should've done this five centuries ago!"

"DRUIG!"

"Vena, don't do it!"

"HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!"

"Question... How do you kill an Eternal without being a Deviant?"

"Have your own plans, Vena?" Phastos chuckled and I shrugged.

"Just asking, in case something goes terribly wrong." I said looking at the bracelets. "How is this exactly gonna work?"

"I found a way to repurpose the sphere so it could connect all of us to Druig. He's gonna need all of us, so no going Looney Tunes, V. I mean it."

"Don't worry. Druig spent about an hour trying to block my mind so I won't go Looney until absolutely necessary." I smiled and he nodded skeptically. "So, let's say there's a technicality and Druig can't do it. Then what?"

"Cross our fingers that our brains don't get blended when we explode." He sighed and I frowned. "It's gonna work. From everything that you've written about his powers, he's the most capable out of all of us to do this. I have faith that this is gonna work."

"Phastos... I'm scared, okay? I'm terrified!"

"I'd be surprised if you weren't, V. Your bond with Adonis is something that I've never seen before. Not just in the way you two compliment each other, but your powers too! You two are literally made for each other." He smiled and held my shoulders. "You'll be right next to him when the time comes. He needs you now more than ever."

"You think that when Arishem made us, he made Druig and I specifically for each other?"

"I think that in every life we've lived, you two always found each other." Phastos whispered and I pulled him into a hug trying not to cry. "A perfect match, V."

"I don't want to lose him, Phastos. I've seen him die too many times in my nightmares." I sobbed.

"Trust me, he's afraid to lose you too."

...

"Vena?"

"Yes, Druig?"

"I think I'm about to shit my pants." He chuckled and I rolled my eyes turning to face him. "I almost forgot how beautiful you looked in your suit."

"I know, drop dead gorgeous. And you look sexy as hell. Don't change the subject." I scolded. "On a scale of one to ten?"

"Thirteen."

"Eh... Could've been a twenty." I teased and held his hands running my thumb over his wedding band. "It's foolproof, sweetheart. Phastos knows what he's doing."

"It's not that, darling. I have more than enough faith in Phastos. It's just... I dunno."

"You do know, you just don't want to tell me."

"Your nightmares, my starlight. I'm worried about them." He sighed and sat down on the bed. "I honestly don't give two shits about what happens to me, but I know you and I know Ikaris. I don't want any deaths on your conscience, Vena. I know you won't handle it."

"Druig, ever since Sersi told us about the Emergence, I've been mentally preparing myself for what may or may not happen. Don't get me wrong, the thought of losing you scares me shitless... Okay, scratch that. Don't leave me, I love you." I begged and Druig chuckled pulling me to his lap. "Pretty please?"
